Been transitting the C&D since 1947. on Russell, Moran, Red Star and Mobil tugs and an American Export Line freighter in 1947. Only three bridges then. One a lift RR bridge. This was knocked into the Canal once. Remember when the Bushey tanker F.L. Hayes collided with a freighter, burned and sunk. Two on the Hayes were lost. Later she became Ecklof’s Reliable. Closed the canal for ten days. Other collisions closed the canal fo many days at a time. My last transit was on the Mobil 1, later the Zachary Reinauer.
Thank you Cap for this and many other great video tour-trips. Helps keep my “recency” fresh.
